My mid-80s 22'' "Grandpa's Hatchet" Weber travels all summer with me to various 2 wheeled events.
This has required a number of modifications to the Weber.
One problem that continues to stump me, however, is securing the Weber without bending the part of the legs that the axle passes through.
The ride in my trailer can be rough, and I normally rachet down the Weber snugly, as an overturned BBQ is a messy thing indeed.
But, the tension of the rachet strap and the rough ride combine to bend the leg tabs...often popping off one wheel.
Lately, I have fashioned a wood brace under the axle. This, when strapped down, gets the wheels off the trailer floor and places the load across the entire axle. See pix.
I still need to secure the lid, and the garganta rubber bands seem to work. See pix 2.
But, do one of you have a better nondestructive way to secure a Weber during travel? If so, I am all ears.
Thanks in advance.
